I understand there may be a reason why he would consider coming to us. Is there any basis for us being interested in him. He is under contract. Is this just BF speculation or has something been really happening?
Dunn just no, but Richards is worth a good look as a forward. He could be a very decent foil for Moore.

Bolded is looking truer by the day.
Forward line is still a work in progress. Moore has massive potential but still has to transfer that to reality. Elliott and Fasolo are the other 2 that look potentially good but question marks over their fitness as well as Darcys. Rest of the forwards look pedestrian. Still a bit of work to do there.

You could say that for Majority of the Team. Treloar,Pendles and Steele are only really Proven Players

I took a rather pleasant walk.
I'm sure this statement sounded good in your head and will be swallowed by the lemmings but Brown and Frost shit all over Dunn and Richards.

Of course they are lol. Trading 101 you only make moves if you can improve your list and those particular moves don't improve us. Otherwise you wind up like Richmond!
Hence why there's little to no criticism towards Corr because those same posters see some potential in Corr improving us.

WHE hopefully will help a little as he has some X-factor and there was some talk of Pendles playing forward minutes.
Mayne is blue collar AF but with Elliot (hopefully) back and him, we may actually stand a chance to keep the ball locked in. Add one more tall you've got a pretty dynamic fwd group in Moore, Player X, WHE, Mayne, Elliot, Fas and Pendles and the Goo floating forward.
Everyone seems consigned to Cox already having plateaued too, but I still think he has a lot of untapped upside.
And yes..as you say.. I think Pert has given Gubby free license to take a straight razor to our list and coaching depts.
If nothing else, next year will certainly sell some papers!

I'm glad someone else gets it!
Both James Clement and Shane Wakelin used to play on the monster forwards and James was 190cm and Shane 192cms. If our backs and mids get back in numbers it hopefully it should not be a problem

Adams, Reid and Grundy says hi - we have talent accross lines, I just think we have a big gap between players like these and that next tier. It's almost like we've just skipped 2-3 years somewhere in development.
We should have a raft of players on each line that are really ready to break out into that elite category. I think it would wrong to expect that from Moore this year and also De Goey, no one down back really looks like making that next jump, Scharenberg needs to concentrate in returning to senior football and not being an A-Grader just yet, after that looking through our list it's just meh, yeah meh, hmm nah.
Good clubs really have those mid tier guys that become elite and hit AA form when it all of a sudden clicks.

James Clement used to play on the best small forwards in the league IIRC.

THIS.. getting back in numbers in the modern game is far more effective than an old school stopper with no other dynamic in their kit bag.
Dave, just heard that Pies finished trading for this year, so more action from us...
You can take it easy now.

I won't even discount Richards Jr improving in few years time but buggered if I know what logic VV was using when he wrote that if we're talking immediate future..
Brown definitely.But Frost?He was a terrible footballer.
So we are copying dogs with a bunch of medium talls so set up something along lines of
Maynard - Dunn - Ramsay
Howe - Reid - Henderson
????
Going to be an interesting year next year.

We did, it's called Ben Ken as perennial sub, Broomhead, Freeman and Scharenberg not on the park.

I'll google that, it may be importantMixed messages these days. Blokes get criticized for holding open doors for women. He probably thought she would be offended by such a patriarchal gesture.

Why lie to him? Are you deliberately trying to get him upset?

Depth player, but versatile...and did kick 13 goals in 10 games this year. If we can get him via a late 3rd round pick then worth a look I would think...
Maybe use the pick we get from Frost on him??

Just a question, so Lewis is under contract for 2017 but Melbourne offered a 3 yr contract, this mean the Hawks contract gets canceled out or is it really just a 2yr extension or is it really a 4 yr contract? Just wondering
Usually try to avoid directly insulting players, but can't keep it in anymore...
